Instructions
Once the cod has soaked for the requisite time, remove from the water and pat dry. With a very sharp fillet knife, slice the cod into very thin slices and set aside.
In a small, non-reactive bowl, combine the herbs and oven-roasted tomatoes and toss with the lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
Divide the baccala evenly among 4 chilled dinner plates. Top each serving with a mound of the salad, drizzle with best-quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Toss all ingredients together and place flesh side up on a rack sitting on a sheet pan. Roast in oven for 2 to 3 hours until tomatoes dehydrated yet still tender.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner
Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Salt Cod. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Viva Diva Moscato Colada with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 11 dollars per bottle.
Viva Diva Moscato Colada
Sweet Moscato wine infused with natural coconut & pineapple flavor. Light orange in color. Fruity, typical of coconut & pineapple with light hints of Moscato. Excellent as an aperitif or mixing with cocktails.
